Douglas not only achieved Olympic history, but she’s also coming out with a memoir Grace, Gold, & Glory: My Leap of Faith, which explains her road to the gold.

"My life has changed so much," she said. "It's been really fun."

The New York Daily News reports that in an interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter, which aired in August, Douglas told Oprah Winfrey that she was subjected to racism when she was training at a gym in Virginia.

“I was just, you know, kind of getting racist jokes, kind of being isolated from the group,” she said. “So it was definitely hard. I would come home at night and just cry my eyes out.”
